5 Instagram embroiderers to inspire your next project
It's not unusual for fashion trends to translate into interior trends. Embroidery is all over the runway and is fast moving into our interiors as well. If you're looking for a new project, or something to adorn your walls, these Instagram embroiderers will inspire you.
1. @EMILLIEFERRIS
If you didn't think embroidery could be detailed, Emillie Ferris is here to prove you wrong. Her lifelike animal portraits have a illustrative quality to them that she describes as "needle painting".
There's something about "Suki" that prompts a smile, but her woodland creatures, bugs and various flora and fauna are also noteworthy.
She's tapped into the current interiors trend of the moment; cacti. So if you're the type of person that is capable of allowing even a cactus to die under your care, her works are probably the best solution for you.
3. @THREADFOLK
If there was anyone to take embroidery out of "going granny", Libby Moore is one to do it. She sells her edgy designs and stitched inspirational sayings on her Etsy page.
Hands up if you're a bit tired of the flower motif? Although Tessa Perlow does do a great embroidered flower bunch, she also excels in other designs; beaded snakes, suns, tigers and butterflies.
Speaking of florals, if those are the inspiration you need, here is Caitlin Benson. Cute and pretty, she's channelling a more traditional embroidery technique and design with a contemporary twist.
